JACKSON SUTTON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

LAMP.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 5,506, dated April 11, 1848.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAoKsoN SUTTON, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented a new and Improved Lamp.

The nature of my invention consists, in combining the common lamp, alantern, and nurse lamp, in one lamp.

To enable others skilled in the art, to make and use my invention, Iwill with reference to the accompanying drawings describe itsconstruction, and operation.

Iv make my lamp, so as to be contained in a socket, similar to that ofthe common candlestick. The lamp, is so constructed, as to slide up anddown in said socket, and is held in the desired place by a spring orotherwise.-

Attached to the top of the socket, A, Figure 1, is a cylinder B, Fig. 1of tin, or other metal, one half of its surface, more or less, beingmetal, and the balance of mica, glass, or any other transparentsubstance. A sliding door C Fig. 3 in .said cylinder, runs or slideshalf way around, which when shutover the glass, makes my lamp a darklantern. My lamp can ,bemade with glass all around, and thus answer fora common lantern.

The top D or cover to the cylinder, may be made of tin or other metal,and should have holes, or orifices, in it, to let out the smoke. Thistop D is made movable so that a dish in small boiler E lfiig'. 3 can beset upon its place, making my lamp also serve instead of the commonnurselamp.

lVhen my lamp is needed for common purposes, as F Fig 1, the smallconical cover G on the top of the cylinder is removed, and permitted tohang by its chains and the lamp is raised in the socket until its top,is as high as the top of the cylinder B.

I do not claim raisingthe lamp so that its wick tubes shall be above thelantern to serve the purpose of a common lamp, but

I claim as my improvement and desire to secure by Letters Patent? Thearrangement of the lamp in combination with the lantern, for saidpurpose, said lamp, being in a socket beneath the lantern frame, bywhich contrivance, the slit is made in the socket and not in the body ofthe lam tern as in other cases.
